A structured language is invented. It requires a glossary or a grammar all its own.


For example (and this is just one quick example), Hildegard von Bingen set up her own system for creating words. It's years since I've looked at it, so I'm talking from memory, but I think she used "buz" or something similar as a suffix for plants/shrubs.

One might find an analog in the VMS -dy ending except that it is FAR too frequent to be anything in a natural language UNLESS it can expand out into a half dozen different optional endings (which immediately makes it different from von Bingen's system) and that creates a hornet's nest of possibilities and calls into question (once again) whether the spaces are real.
